I get people on board:

  • This is what we do

  • Mission

  • Vision

  • These are your benefits

  • Forms

  • Sign here

  • Make copies

  • Make choices

  • Who to contact

  • Who is who

  • What you’ll do

  • This is how it works

  • Our values

  • Our ethics

  • Our expectations

  • Competencies

  • Policy

  • Boundaries

  • Accountability

  • Safety

I am a people and process developer:

  • Processes

  • Simple to complex

  • Bite size chunks

  • Standards

  • Quality

  • Knowledge sharing

  • I show you, you show me

  • repeat, repeat, repeat

  • This is what quality looks like

  • Best practice

  • Shortcuts? Innovative? Maybe

  • Clarifications

  • Big picture

  • Micro view

Tools of the trade:

  • Stories

  • Experiential Learning

  • Feedback

  • Mentoring

  • Class

  • Analogies

  • Repetition

  • Listening

  • Culture

  • Change

  • Pain

  • Pushback

  • Tipping point
